A couple examples I have heard of are Scandinavian Design and Damark. First let me say that all I know about either is second or third hand information.
I know a lot of the people that worked at Damark over the years. It was a good sized Pick shop for many years. It broke up into two companies. One, ClickShip, which is now defunct. The other is Provell. Provell is still running on Universe, but trying to still make the jump to Oracle. I think Damark started the move to Oracle in the late 90's. Some will say that there were many elements in the demise of the company. But rumor on the street was that they spent 10 million dollars writing an order entry system in Oracle, when they had an existing one in Pick. I think Scandinavian Design has been documented by others. -----Original Message----- From: Debster [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, May 16, 2004 11:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [U2] Companies going belly up converting from PICK/MV Not belly up but had extreme difficulties (i.e. Oxford Health Plans). They then wound up keeping some applications on MV since Oracle could not meet the demands. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dawn M. Wolthuis Sent: Sunday, May 16, 2004 10:06 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [U2] Companies going belly up converting from PICK/MV I've tried to search the archives for some old postings and have been unsuccessful, so sorry for asking for previously posted info. I'm looking for information related to companies that moved or attempted to move from applications based on MV to Oracle or other relational databases and went belly up in the process. Thanks for any anecdotes or info you can pass along or point me to. --dawn Dawn M.
